GenTeal differs from ordinary multidose tears because it is preserved in the bottle by a unique disappearing preservative, sodium perborate. Upon contact with the eye, sodium perborate turns into pure water and oxygen, thereby minimizing the irritation that may be caused by traditional preservatives.

FDA Approved Uses:   For the temporary relief of discomfort due to minor irritations of the eye from exposure to wind, sun, or other irritants. For use as a protectant against further irritation or to relieve dryness of the eye.

Description :   GenTeal is a sterile lubricant eye drop containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; with boric acid, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, phosphonic acid, and purified water; sodium perborate added as a preservative.

Directions:   Instill 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed.

Warnings:   If you experience eye pain, changes in vision, continued redness or irritation of the eye, or if the condition worsens or persists for more than 72 hours, discontinue use and consult a doctor. To avoid contamination, do not touch tip of container to any surface. Do not use this product if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.

Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children.

Always replace cap after using.
